4.0 out of 5 stars Simone in her prime, July 15, 2010

This review is from: Nina Simone Great Performances: College Concerts and Interviews (DVD)

Andy Stroud was Nina Simone's husband and manager when he filmed the footage (though he didn't edit it into a film until recently), so he got excellent access. Most importantly, he got access to the artist at her best--relaxed, undefensive, and confident that her audience understands and appreciates her. There's nothing artful about the film itself, but it feels powerful and alive because it capture the vitality and significance of this powerful, politically engaged artist in her joyous prime.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nina Simone, Live in 1968, April 6, 2010

This review is from: Nina Simone Great Performances: College Concerts and Interviews (DVD)

This DVD is a fascinating document of 2 1968 concerts featuring the legendary Nina Simone.
I wish the concerts were shown in their complete form. The musical performances are interspersed with interviews, but what remains of these performances is Simone at her best. She looks stunningly beautiful in this footage. I wold love to have the complete performances of Ain't Got No and My Way someday released on audio, if the filmed performances do not exist in their entirety. Any Nina Simone fan will not be disappointed with this DVD.

This review is from: Nina Simone Great Performances: College Concerts and Interviews (DVD)

I bought this dvd because i wanted the song "MY WAY". For my surprise, this particular song is only performed on AUDIO NOT VIDEO.ON the rest of the dvd, the performances audio and video are great. But if you want to see Nina performing my way in this dvd forget it.
